We had a very pleasant walk through this hidden garden tucked away at the far end of UC Berkeley. The garden features a wide variety of beautiful plants, and strolling beneath the tall, leafy trees and lush bushes on a July afternoon was the perfect way to spend the day. One side of the garden offers beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay, making the visit even more memorable. Unfortunately, the garden closes at 4:00 p.m., so we didn’t have as much time to explore as some of the other visitors.

Hidden gem! Free to the public. Dog friendly to well behaved K9's. Picnic friendly. Lovely panoramic views over the East shore, Bay Islands, and SF City scape.

So this is a great place to go for a quick low stress walk or to just hang out have a picnic, read a book, or just chat with a freind. Most people dont know it exists.

One of the best botanic garden in the Bay Area! Great collection of local plants and wild flowers.

This is a beautiful garden in Kensington, Berkeley, free to visit. Former Blake family residence, it was donated to UC Berkeley and is now a public garden. The house was closed for visitors when we visited on August 2025. Not sure if it will be ever open to the public, but the surrounding gardens are definitely worth exploring. House was built to break the NW winds , and the placement of the gardens allow for magnificent views of the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge. Heaven on Earth!
